The DeKalb County Police Department held its 5th annual winter clothing drive on Wednesday. The event took place at the Tucker police headquarters, where community members donated clothing to help others stay warm during the winter. The drive aimed to provide support to those in need during the colder months, according to FOX 5.
The drive-thru event made it easy for people to drop off donations, including shoes, coats, and new socks. An officer at the event emphasized the importance of the initiative, saying, "As colder weather sets in, the demand for warm clothing increases significantly." The event encouraged donations of gently used clothing and allowed people to contribute without leaving their cars, as stated by FOX 5.
The DeKalb Police Department has been working for five years to collect winter essentials for the community. Locals have been encouraged to contact Public Information Officer E. Wells to contribute. The turnout was steady, showing strong community support for those in need, as reported by Hoodline.
